I have a question for Mayor Durkan. When do we start getting our free money?
On June 29, 11 U.S. mayors, led by Michael Tubbs of Stockton, California, announced the launch of a new network called Mayors for a Guaranteed Income. The basic idea of a guaranteed income is simple: Give people cash, not just once, but regularly, with no strings attached. The mayors intend to experiment with city-based pilot programs, as well as advocate for state and federal guaranteed income policies. The effort quickly got a $3 million boost from Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
